The Tanach too - Hosea, Ezekiel 23 and the Song of Songs are full of female desire (the latter approvingly, the former two not so much!)

Don’t often find myself agreeing with Mehdi, but he’s bang on with this couplet.

Lovely nails though Alex!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Hypnotits Polanski responding to the worst antisemitic racist attack on the UK since 1190 by…. implying that Zionist control of the media is working against him.
Nice one Zackeleh. We’re all so proud of you….

And this Jew agrees.

It’s easy to oppose Netanyahu without being antisemitic.

But marching alongside “from the river to the sea” and “globalise the intifada” banners without batting an eyelid is, at the very least, tolerating antisemitism.

Netanyahu’s heinous policies are a separate conversation.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Extra points for the barely-concealed double-entendre potential of 'chap' and 'tackle' there.

"nearly all" 12 apostles? I bet I know which one they've left out...

Please read this thread of the supportive statements from across faiths and other events of British society. We have more friends than we sometimes think.

Thank you! Really appreciated. This stuff matters.

Thank you!

Thanks Ian. So so very appreciated. We’re still in shock but this solidarity really matters and is appreciated.

If Hamas do agree to disarm and give up Gaza in the Trump-Bibi plan announced today, where does that leave the “if you recognise Palestine you’re only rewarding and strengthening Hamas” argument?

Coal is to US energy politics as fish is to UK Brexity politics

Has she lost the memo that reminds RW agitators to put "Judeo" before Christian to make them look inclusive and so they only upset the communities that they are (currently) targeting?

She must have lost the memo that tells them not to forget to add "Judeo-" before Christian. Oops!

i wonder what it is specifically about khan trump doesn't like? it's a puzzle alright

You have to admire their commitment to Tankie Judean People's Front stereotypes.

We are part of a story that began long before we were born and will continue long after we are no longer here, and the question for all of us is: Will we continue the story? The hopes of a hundred generations of our ancestors rest on our willingness to do so. Deep in our collective memory the words of Moses continue to resonate. “It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant, but with … whoever is not here with us today.” We are each a key player in this story. We can live it. We can abandon it. But it is a choice we cannot avoid, and it has immense consequences. The future of the covenant rests with us.

The late great Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z"l on Jewish identity. Wow. Just wow.

Will there be a break halfway through the series so that the Second World War can happen?

Don't take any chances. Sink the fucker before The Thing That Nobody Expects jumps out and burns me at the stake!

1. That's not how you spell 'backpedal'
2. For fuck's sake Bibi, just say that you're happy to make Israel the Millwall of nations.
3. The sooner you and your settler nutter mates are gone, the better for everyone.

Wow. Maybe you could backpedal on your awful spelling?

Happy for you re. Cillian; perhaps less so re. Jeremy. He was awful on Monday - so obvious where his sympathies lie. But keep fighting the good fight!

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

The key fact that the racist right really hates: multiculturalism works
